Solution

Answer:

Cost of goods sold = Merchandise Inventory, Beginning + Cost of Merchandise Purchases – Merchandise Inventory, Ending
Gross Profit = Sales – Cost of Goods sold
Net income (Loss) = Gross Profit - Expenses

Case B:

Cost of goods sold = Merchandise Inventory, Beginning + Cost of Merchandise Purchases – Merchandise Inventory, Ending
$16,000 = $17,050 + Cost of Merchandise Purchases - $3,000
$16,000 = $14,050 + Cost of Merchandise Purchases
Cost of Merchandise Purchases = $1,950

Gross Profit = Sales – Cost of Goods sold
Gross Profit = $43,500 - $16,000
Gross Profit = $27,500

Case C:

Gross Profit = Sales – Cost of Goods sold
$3,750 = $46,000 – Cost of Goods sold
Cost of Goods sold = $42,250

Cost of goods sold = Merchandise Inventory, Beginning + Cost of Merchandise Purchases – Merchandise Inventory, Ending
$42,250 = $7,500 + Cost of Merchandise Purchases - $9,000
$42,250 = Cost of Merchandise Purchases - $1,500
Cost of Merchandise Purchases = $43,750

Case D:

Cost of goods sold = Merchandise Inventory, Beginning + Cost of Merchandise Purchases – Merchandise Inventory, Ending
Cost of Goods sold = $8,000 + $32,000 - $6,600
Cost of Goods sold = $33,400

Gross Profit = Sales – Cost of Goods sold
$45,600 = Sales - $33,400
Sales = $79,000
